I guess it was fate.I remember login in just to take peek at her and to check whether she is still available.The next thing i remember, with shaky hands i called up the owner and negotiated a place to meet.The first time i met her, at my mechanic’s place, she was as nice as the pictures in the forum.3 weeks later, after many delays due to documentations. I was driving her home with a promise to her previous owner that I will try my best to do justice to her. My knees went soft when she took me to 140km/h effortlessly. There and then  was my first smile with the car, and there on there’s no looking back.Puspakom Inspection - pict coutesy of previous owner.<a href="http://s1321.beta.photobucket.com/user/Ahmad_Tajuddin/media/My%20Black%20Magic%20Woman/IMG_7288_zpsd1ce4c8b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u549/Ahmad_Tajuddin/My%20Black%20Magic%20Woman/IMG_7288_zpsd1ce4c8b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Taking a bath before handover - pict coutesy of previous owner.<a href="http://s1321.beta.photobucket.com/user/Ahmad_Tajuddin/media/My%20Black%20Magic%20Woman/IMG_7313_zps3c6c00c7.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u549/Ahmad_Tajuddin/My%20Black%20Magic%20Woman/IMG_7313_zps3c6c00c7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>My first DIY.
